The first quarter-finals of Euro 2024 brought two turns to the column. Zero handicap Vladimir Prokofiev Spain and France were left with no gains or losses, although both teams eventually advanced to the next round.
Vladimir’s predictions for the matches on July 5:
Ronaldo’s tears, Mbappé’s triumph and Kroos’ final game: What to expect today at Euro 2024
There are 77,140 chips left in the pot.
Let’s remember the rules of the challenge:
conditional bankroll – 100,000 chips; nominal bets – forecasts of 2,000, 3,000, 5,000 and 10,000 chips for all Euro matches;
BET #1
Match: England – Switzerland.
Tender: 1 or 2 goals in a match for 1.85.
Addition: 5000 chips (possible profit – 4350 chips).
England recovered from Slovakia in the last 16 thanks to an epic Bellingham goal, scored in extra time and dug in again in their own area. Southgate’s team reached the quarter-finals for the fourth consecutive major tournament, although the game is tense for almost everyone.
Switzerland, on the other hand, pleased neutral football fans. Yakin’s team deservedly defeated Italy and now finds itself in the dark horse category. Yes, this team does not have much skill, but it has teamwork and a recognizable pattern.
According to the odds, England are the favourites. The fantastic class of the players, their experience at the club and their great victories all play a role. But three nuances will emerge from the match that will decide many things. Testing the underlying result is dangerous. I like the bet that there will be 1 or 2 goals in the match, with odds of 1.85.

Southgate will not, under any circumstances, give up on the most boring football possible. The result he has chosen has occurred in three of England’s four encounters at the current Euros: 1-0 with Serbia, 1-1 with Denmark and 1-1 in normal time with Slovakia.
Switzerland has similar statistics: 1-1 with Scotland, 1-1 with Germany and 2-0 with Italy. I don’t believe in a total of more than 2.5 goals, so the main thing is to see at least one goal in 90 minutes. The chances are good.
BET #2
Match: Netherlands – Turkey.
Tender: total more than 2.5 by 1.78.
Addition: 5000 chips (possible profit – 3900 chips).
The Netherlands, with class, confidence and reserve, defeated Romania in the quarter-finals. Gakpo and company could have solved all the problems much earlier, but they delayed it until the end. Overall, this was perhaps the best match of the Orange in the tournament. Although it is worth taking into account the level of your opponent.
Türkiye put in another performance: the match against Austria was brilliant, emotional and with a fantastic save from Günok in extra time. For fans of spectacle, this is the ideal team for the current Euro. Pragmatic football, cold calculation, tactical chess – not everything is Turkey. Passion, enthusiasm and desire to play attacking come to the fore. Therefore, with a decent odds of 1.78, I bet that the total number of goals will be over 2.5.
Turkey is the only team at the Euros to have scored more goals in each match and to have lost all previous matches. The results speak for themselves: 3-1 against Georgia, 0-3 against Portugal, 2-1 against the Czech Republic and 2-1 against Austria.

The Netherlands are not averse to staging a spectacular match either. Only boring France dragged Koeman’s team to boring zeros; in other matches everything was much more interesting: 2-1 with Poland, 2-3 with Austria and 3-0 with Romania.
Even head-to-head statistics favour the chosen bet. After the 4-2 in Istanbul, we saw a powerful 6-1 in Amsterdam. These teams love to rock.
Total: Two bets are made for a total of 10,000 chips, leaving 67,140 chips in the pot.
